I wonder if the first Diesel Loco drivers joked (to steam train drivers) "what's a boiler?". To which the reply would no doubt have been "it's what real trains have". Fact is of course, both are fantastic machines. I think if I was given the choice of driving a steam train or a Japanese bullet train, I'd find it impossible to choose one.
It's like we've said before; you have to have both (as you have done). A Tesla is very much still on my wish list and I probably would've bought one by now if I'd have had enough space to park both cars (and if Tesla's were a little cheaper).
Having said all that, it's still not a proper car unless it has a gear lever of course
